By condensing the sonic explorations of Meddle to actual songs and adding a lush, immaculate production to their trippiest instrumental sections, Pink Floyd inadvertently designed their commercial breakthrough with Dark Side of the Moon…

The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth album by the English rock band Pink Floyd. Originally released on 1 March 1973, on the label Harvest, it built on ideas explored in the band's earlier recordings and live shows, but departs from instrumental thematic by founding member Syd Barrett. The album explores themes including conflict, greed, the passage of time, and mental illness, the latter partly inspired by Barrett's deteriorating mental state. It produced two singles, "Money" and "Us and Them", and is the band's most popular album among fans and critics, and has been ranked as one of the greatest albums of all time.

Rita Marcotulli is a hidden gem of european piano playing. Here she explores the timbres of the piano [some thumping & various metal bits placed on the strings - often used as repeat patterns to play over] but mostly plays beautiful melodic pieces. The last track has a quirky bit of singing through a megaphone - gorgeous ! She keeps well within herself, choosing to explore sonorities and harmonies rather than speedy runs. Could be listened to at a dinner party without shocking a non-jazz audience.
